MidCoast Stories
Read full descriptionHide full description
The NSW MidCoast is so much more than beautiful beaches and rugged hinterland. The region’s towns and villages are alive with unique and curious stories waiting to be discovered through these self-guided heritage trails. The stories and trails have been researched and written by MidCoast Stories, the winners of two National Trust Awards. Trails will be added as they are created. The trails have been designed with both locals and visitors in mind, using stories to provide a deeper connection to the MidCoast. You are encouraged to physically participate in the trails for the most enjoyable experience. This project is proudly funded by the NSW Government.
